Ted Idlof, owner/driver

 

The #13 Formula Mazda is my baby, born in 2003 at Star Race Cars and racing in the Central CA area since 2004.  My racing interest started with high performance driving in sports cars back in the 1980's.  I graduated to track events in 1997 in my 1992 Acura NSX.    Racing #13 FM  has been my 4 wheel speed fix since 2004.  I also teach high performance driving  on track.

The Team.   

 

My co-driver is Wade Leathers, an attorny from Chicago.  He's been racing Formula Mazdas and other equally fast race cars since 2000 and has been renting the #13 car from me for race weekends since 2008.  

 

My other Shoe String Racing team mate is Bruce Carpenter in the #92 Formula Mazda.    Bruce came from racing karts and bought the #92 car in 2007.  

 

 

We race at Thunderhill Raceway in Willows, CA, Sonoma Raceway, Laguna Seca, and occasionally venture south to Buttonwillow or Fontana.

The #13 and the #92 have gone wheel to wheel many times.

Steve Bresee is the chief mechanic, engineer and manager for the #92 car.  He makes sure Bruce has his shoes tied and zipper up.
